3 Exercises to Build Bigger GLUTES & HAMSTRINGS || COMPLETE STRATEGY (WORKOUT INCLUDED)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

If you're having a hard time increasing your SQUAT or DEADLIFT, this is the video you need to be watching. All that "hip explosiveness" power heavily relies on your glutes & hamstrings working together. However, if you spend all your time training each muscle group with isolation type movements, over time your glutes and hamstrings will not function properly as one unit during heavy squats/deadlifts. I might even suggest you see how much weight you can lift for a solid set of 8 reps for both squats & deadlifts sometime this week. Then try the workout provided here for 4 - 6 weeks and revisit squats & deadlifts and see how much you've improved in terms of how much weight you can NOW lift for a solid set of 8 reps. Especially if you've been stuck hitting the same numbers for a while. As always, you can read the article version of this video on my website by clicking this link: muscularstrength.com/article/this-is-how-you-build-massive-glutes-hamstrings

I love seeing how many of us take Scott as an inspiration after watching him many years ago, he's indeed a passionate guy who sooner or later infects you with positive energy, you're the best Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You’re too kind Guido! Thanks a lot bro, always been my goal to help and inspire as many of you as possible!

[@creatinechris]

Hi Scaht, just wanted you to know that you were a big inspiration to me taking fitness seriously starting back in 2011. Thank you!

[@KenanTurkiye]

Yes Scaht is a good inspiration to get staated.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Love hearing that Chris! Honored to have inspired you!

[@strawberrysherbet96]

Scott ever since high school you’ve always been my motivation. I still do your workouts to this day! 💪🏼

[@ZUUL117]

Great to see you're still putting out great content, Scott!

[@NDemanuele1]

This is a great video! For decades, decades ( since I started weight training) !! I could never connect my glutes/hams in the Romanian DL ( AKA stiff legged DL) . Whenever I watched a video or read how to do this exercise, pics would show people with their legs straight ( apart from knees unlocked). I did this exercise this way all this time. In this video, Scott shows how he hinges deeper ( almost a partial squat) which actually loads the Glutes/Hams. I tried it earlier and they engaged instantly. It's better late than never! I wish people would explain the exercise this way. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had problems connecting with this one. Thanks!

Great Points....fellow New Englander living his dream in the sunshine state.

[@Jay-we2ek]

For me personally, RDL + ham curls have given me the best results (twice a week for both).

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Agreed! They’re my go-to exercises for hamstrings!

[@luckynhlanhlatshabalala2475]

Thanks for this legit info. Already enjoying before even finishing the video.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

My pleasure bro! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@julirohfit8570]

bulgarian split squats also give a big stretch on the glutes and weighted walking lunges makes your azz BURN. i'm almost maxed out on the barbell hipthrust myself

[@ScottHermanFitness]

They definitely do! Maxed out as in can’t fit more plates on?

[@julirohfit8570]

@@ScottHermanFitness i can put 1 more 45 pound plate on each side and it wont fit more but i start not to feel it in my glutes anymore last time with 200kg. the hipthrust is my strongest lift so i really dont have to worry about it or my glutes in general

[@lurklingX]

hey, saw someone rec'd you on quora for being great teaching FORM. these newer vids are great (the 2009 sound quality echo and shaking was rough) and the format and shooting is great too! keep it up. i bet you start getting some traction! : D really enjoyed this one!! will def rec to others too! (*ETA: i guess the algorithm is just not playing nice, it shoulda recc'd you to me by now, seeing as you have so many subscribers. i guess it's a posting frequency thing? my above comment about traction was based on the good vid i saw with only 1.5K likes.)

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Hay man great video thanks

[@leocecc]

For glutes specifically, a recent study has made the step up as by far and away the king of glute development exercise. Way more than thrust too.

[@domepiece11]

Yes, people ignore unilateral work. Box step ups and rear lunges are excellent glute exercises.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Can you please link me to the study?

[@lurklingX]

hey, link us the studies man! : )

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

I don't mean to be a complainer, but I wish you would make videos more often, because I get valuable information from you and I'm always eager to learn.

[@nicholasingratta423]

Thought you disappeared man good to see you again

[@Simon-gx1wf]

For nordic, I really like band assist, it really suits the strength curve of the exercice, same for reverse nordic!

[@Jennylynla]

For the body weight hamstring curl if you happen to have a bosu ball, using it under your knees helps with this exercise.

[@Mfjustme]

Can I do these exercises with dumbbells and or bands ? I do not have a barbell ..

[@suviseshbharadwaj7206]

Hey there Scott! Great video as always. Would you rate the hip thrust higher than the glute bridge? I've found it really helpful even with light weights, especially when controlling the weight throughout the eccentric phase and not resting it on the ground

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hip thrust is good because of the longer ROM. But we get pretty good ROM on the leg curl and RDL, so the glute bridge is ideal to go heavier!

[@suviseshbharadwaj7206]

@@ScottHermanFitness got it! Leg day is today...Wish me luck 😁

[@onlykingscan]

Thanks for this video

[@FitAfter50]

Love me some single leg RDLs. Also, on those body weight hamstring curls if you cannot bring yourself up use a band tied off to the pull up bar above.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Using a band is a great idea too man! Nice!

[@KenanTurkiye]

Always Kenan! :-D

[@Legacy-Talks]

Hi Scott, a little off topic but do you have any thoughts on the new advice going around on not retracting and holding your scapula there, during the bench press? I've been seeing more and more coaches say to let the scapula move naturally instead of full retraction. This goes against fundamentals I have learned so I just wanted to know your current opinion on this.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Definitely keep using retraction. Otherwise your front delts will just takeover and that’s when you can get injured

[@lurklingX]

@@ScottHermanFitness i was trying to find a coach for this reason - to avoid injury. but it's scary how many trainers might still give bad advice. how the heck are we supposed to stay safe? is there any gold standard book or something? where do the knowledgeable pros get their knowledge? who is the keeper of high knowledge and science on this stuff? or the studies about most effective exercises/lifts? (i want a way to spot check myself, but also be informed, and if i work with a CPT, make sure they aren't giving unsafe advice) i'm seriously seriously worried about injuries. btw, i'm new here just now. hoping you have some of those vids on "what not to do" that show common mistakes in form vs the correct way to perform. those are FANTASTIC and so helpful.

[@louiepena2025]

Well said and good to know

[@gaila.9852]

Scott, do people around you pronounce “start” and “barbell” the same way you do? I’m genuinely curious!

[@samratdonur9266]

I'm skinny but i have abs good biceps and great legs but i want to bulk up and have abs poping out... For now they are clearly visible but don't pop out... Please guide me what should I do..

[@user-os2uz2dy3b]

[@gaila.9852]

Aren’t hip thrusts better than glute bridges due to their greater range of motion?

[@tomaspeixinho4447]

Interesting to see the nordic hamstring becoming more popular lately

[@juju8219]

How did do you determine how many sets of each exercise to do?

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

He's just giving general recommendations. Actual # of sets needed will vary depending on structure of training program, gender, training experience, leverages, etc.

[@rdg665]

Yo scott why does my lower back right at the hips on one side feel extremly weird when doing any kind of deadlift romanian or normal etc ? Suspected injury

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah sounds like an injury of some kind. I have hip shift when I squat, yours could be the same thing happening when doing RDLs

[@tonydeluna8095]

Hey Scott thank you for all your educational videos! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

My pleasure Tony! Thanks so much for the support!

[@tonydeluna8095]

@@ScottHermanFitness yessir! Always! 💯

[@robin2604]

Is it normal for lower back to round with the rdl if you go to low? I can go a bit below the knee but mid shin seems to be a spot where I get rounding, even with light weight.

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Yeah eventually there will be some rounding, you can train this to improve your lower back strength and size of the erector muscles. Just make sure to load it carefully and progress at a steady rate, doing too much too soon with lower back training is high risk

[@iK0NiK]

I'll also add to be REALLY careful when coming back up after your back has rounded slightly. It's very easy for the lower back to take the brunt of the lift when you're straightening it on the way back up. Slow and controlled. If you start to feel like someone is pushing against the muscles in your lower back even while you're standing up, it's time to take a rest and double check your form.

[@ajrvz3029]

Scott, my hamstrings always cramp up when i do the bodyweight hamstring curl. I am not sure what the issue is

[@wrinklypickle671]

Which one is better. Glute bridge Or hip thrust

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Hip thrust, more ROM and you get more out of less load

[@2os2syllables]

When are you going on the Challenge? You would wreck some people

[@jahimuddin2306]

My hamstrings and quads are great but my glutes are not doing so well. RDL's and box squats seem to hit my glutes the hardest.

[@RetalMules]

I've never tried that bodyweight hamstring move but man that looks difficult. You made it look so easy, I think id faceplant the floor haha. 👍 Great video

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It’s super challenging! And will destroy your hamstrings.. in a good way haha

[@muhammadhaider5677]

😃 great 👍👍

[@meech.88]

What A Stud 👁👄👁

[@acenolan]

hi scaht 😎

[@stephenwchang]

It seems you prefer glute bridges to hip thrusts. Why is that? Aren't glute bridges kind of like partial rep hip thrusts?

[@rdg665]

Because hip thrust has an extremely awkward position lol

[@adamcolman1697]

Totally agree with the plan for galoot bridges and Romanian deadlifts In no way do I agree with leg curls especially for eight repetition Leg curls if done at all should be done for 15+ repetitions Would rather you replaced that kind of exercise with reverse hyper extensions or even kettle bell swings

[@MarcoPeyrano]

Leg curls/nordic curls are top excercises for strengthening the hamstrings, whats the reasoning behind your comment? Why 15+ reps only? There are no mandatory rep ranges, at least for isolation excercises

Give this banded kneeling hip thrust a try (1 minute video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooOpln-BYtuBjdE It’s an excellent activation, accessory, or alternative exercise for the posterior chain. Other great glute exercises not mentioned are box step ups, rear lunges, and KB swings.

[@miguelrocha1880]

The amount of willpower i need to have to not joke about the glute bridge must be inhuman. Its not a bad exercise. I just have a dirty mind.

Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins, Repent of what the New Testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel obey the teachings of Jesus documented in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, be baptized by faith in Jesus you can live life with him as your example. If you need prayer i'll pray for you. If you want to keep contact with a brother in Christ i’ll keep contact with you. The love of God is beyond our understanding. God bless.
